Upon seeing Ming Fei leave, Chu Kuangren rubbed his nose. "What a shame. She's quite a powerhouse. It's a pity I can't gain her allegiance and servitude."
He shook his head.
In fact, he admired Ming Fei quite a lot.
However, she was only loyal to the Radiant Goddess.
"Let's hope we won't have to cross swords one day," Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Although he currently had the identity as the Child of Light, his relationship with the Darkness Tribe was not shallow either. After all, he had made a deal with the Dark Demonic Ruler.
Not even he was sure whether he would become the Radiant Goddess's enemy in the future, especially once she discovered that the Doomsday Darkness was present inside him…
If that happened, things would become even more unpredictable.
Ming Fei rode her white pegasus, soaring into the sky, and returning to the holy church.
She thought about Chu Kuangren, especially when the immense Devil power suddenly erupted from him during his Primordial Tribulation. Compared to his aura as the Child of Light, it was like day and night.
It made her doubtful. 'Is he really the Child of Light?'
"Chu Kuangren, I hope you don't make an enemy out of Her Holiness. Otherwise, I will dedicate every fiber of my being to eliminate you, even at the cost of my life!"
A cold glint flashed in Ming Fei's eyes.
Chu Kuangren's talents were simply terrifying.
In her opinion, he would surpass the Tempest King or, if not, be on par with her.
If someone like that ended up an enemy of the Radiant Goddess, it would surely become a serious problem for her. Hence, the threat must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Suddenly, a ray of light streaked past her side.
At a closer look, that ray of light turned out to be a person, who was currently being followed by many others as if they were hunting her down.
"Huh? That person's aura…"
Ming Fei noticed that the person being hunted was a silver-haired woman clad in silvery-white armor and had a dense Radiant aura emanating from her body.
"Is she someone from the church?"
Ming Fei was a little surprised.
However, she would not stand idly by, so she quickly followed them.
She realized that the woman being hunted did not possess a high cultivation level, but the woman had a strong fighting spirit and immense perseverance.
Although the people hunting her down possessed cultivation levels many times higher than hers, they could not take her down easily, all because of her indomitable fighting spirit.
Ming Fei started to admire that woman a little.
She could not help but recall her past battles back when she was still weak.
Back then, she would always fight against enemies stronger than her in pursuit of power and end up covered in wounds all the time.
She even had a brush with death a couple of times.
Every time she returned to the holy church, the Radiant Goddess would always personally tend to her injuries.
"The old me was so similar to this woman."
Ming Fei continued observing for a while more.
She realized she had grown fond of the woman.
She thought she had devoted her whole life to the Radiant Goddess, but now, she suddenly found herself thinking of taking in a disciple.
"If I were to fall in battle one day, perhaps this person can be my replacement and continue serving her Holiness," Ming Fei thought out loud.
With that thought in mind, she took action.
She casually waved her hand, unleashing a wave of domineering Radiant Dao aura. The cultivators surrounding that woman died on the spot.
That woman was caught by surprise.
When she saw Ming Fei, that woman's blue eyes narrowed, seemingly out of caution. However, upon realizing that nothing could prepare her for the likes of an elite, that woman relaxed.
"I'm deeply grateful for your help, Senior Sister." That woman thanked Ming Fei with cupped fists.
"I saved you because I see the talent and potential in you. Are you willing to become my disciple?" Ming Fei went straight to the point with her intention.
That woman seemed very surprised.
However, after some pondering, she nodded gently. "It is my honor to be chosen by you, Senior Sister. I'm willing to become your disciple."
She had just arrived in the Great Hongmeng Universe and was having a hard time acclimating to the new world.
Perhaps she could get stronger sooner if she had someone to support her.
She could also sense that Ming Fei was very powerful, more powerful than the likes of anyone she had encountered so far.
Besides, Ming Fei's Dao made her feel at home.
That was also why she was willing to become Ming Fei's disciple.
"Very well."
Ming Fei nodded her head with satisfaction. "Now, tell me. What is your name?"
"Lan Yu."
…
In Myriad Arms City, Chu Kuangren was familiarizing himself with his newfound power in his room.
He had benefited tremendously from the recent breakthrough, obtaining a huge leap in terms of power.
"It's a pity that I still cannot fully master that sword strike that cleaved the sky in half," Chu Kuangren mumbled.
At the final moment of the Hongmeng Primordial Tribulation, he entered a sudden state of enlightenment and unleashed the most powerful sword technique in his life using the first-ever sword technique he created, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique.
At that instant, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique was elevated to unknown heights.
It became a Hongmeng-level cultivation technique.
However, that sword strike was too profound. After Chu Kuangren's sudden moment of enlightenment and inspiration, it was not easy for him to recreate the same sword strike again.
Despite that, he was not discouraged.
If he could unleash an attack like that once, he could certainly do it the second time.
It was only a matter of time before he fully mastered that technique.
Chu Kuangren ended his closed-door meditation, got up, and exited his room.
Coincidentally, Ou Yenuo was walking toward him to inform him of the progress of gaining control over Myriad Arms City.
Everything had been going smoothly so far.
Now, Ou Yenuo had replaced Ou Chen as the Myriad Arms City's strongest weaponsmith and inherited everything Ou Chen used to own.
"How's the situation at the Blazing Flame Volcano?" Chu Kuangren asked.
"It's gradually recovering."
Why did Chu Kuangren want to control the Myriad Arms City?
It was because the city was simply too crucial for any of the forces out there.
After all, weapons were a critical part that contributed to a cultivator's combat strength.
As a city capable of continuously producing weapons and arms, the Myriad Arms City would be a highly tempting location for most forces.
Myriad Arms City would surely be a great assistance to Chu Kuangren when he wanted to create his own force in the future.
However, there was a prerequisite for Myriad Arms City to continuously produce weapons. It was that the Blazing Flame Volcano had to gather up all the murderous qi in the Feng Domain.
Although Ou Chen had damaged the leylines beneath the volcano, he did not damage its nodes. With some restorations, it would eventually recover.
"Also, we have obtained intel about Ou Chen."
"Oh?"
Chu Kuangren's gaze was ice-cold. "Where is he?"
"A branch of the Apocalypse Martial Society."
"So he wants to escape to the Apocalypse Martial Society, huh?" Chu Kuangren sneered.
Truthfully speaking, the only force more powerful than Myriad Arms City would be the Apocalypse Martial Society. It was not surprising that Ou Chen had gone to them to seek refuge.
Besides, the Apocalypse Martial Society would not mind a weaponsmith master joining their ranks.
"Many elites are in that branch, including Feng Sha from before. It will not be easy for us to capture him. Once he reaches the headquarters of the Apocalypse Martial Society, we won't be able to do anything to him."
"He will never make it."
Chu Kuangren then asked for that branch's location.
He took out the Timespace Treasure.
After injecting it with Primordial energy, a divine spacetime light instantly enveloped him.
In an instant, Chu Kuangren disappeared from the spot.
"A spacetime-related item, huh? That's also another Hongmeng Supreme Treasure!" Ou Yenuo, who always had a good eye for the quality of things, immediately identified the Timespace Treasure's item grade with just one glance.
The Timespace Treasure that Chu Kuangren regarded as a Chaos Supreme Treasure the entire time was actually a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure instead!
